The Assistance League of Redlands will continue the tradition of its Camellia Luncheon this year, with a few changes.

The 68th annual Camellia Luncheon, a fundraiser for the Assistance League’s philanthropic projects, has for many years been held on a weekday in several Redlands homes. This year’s luncheon moves to Saturday, March 2, and will be held at the Burrage Mansion in Redlands rather than in private homes.

In recent years, Camellia Luncheon guests have had the opportunity to tour the homes where the luncheon was held. This year’s event will include tours of three homes, the Asistencia and the Assistance League Dental Center and Thrift Shop beginning at 9:45 a.m. Following the tours will be a champagne reception, fashion show by Soft Surroundings and catered luncheon at the Burrage Mansion.

The homes open for tours will be the Flanigan home on La Solana Court, the Stirle home on East Sunset Drive and the Green-Ganley home on Mariposa Drive.

Theme of this year’s Cameilla Luncheon is “The Wondrous World of Color.”

Tickets are $95 and must be purchased in advance. Reservation deadline is Feb. 28. For tickets, call 909-793-4430, 909-798-4185 or 951-204-1677.

Proceeds fund the Assistance League of Redlands’ philanthropies serving Redlands and neighboring communities, including the Operation School Bell and Teens-Be-Seen programs that provide new school clothes to more than 1,300 low-income and homeless children and teens in the Redlands and Yucaipa-Calimesa school districts.

Other programs are the Assistance League’s low-cost Dental Center, providing full-service dentistry to more than 800 children and adults annually; and Assault Survivor Kits, providing clothing to victims of sexual assault when they must leave their clothes with authorities for evidence. The Assistance League also funds a therapy dog to provide emotional support for abused children and five scholarships to help young women who have overcome adversity to stay in school.
